This striking deuce roadster is in fact a
Boydster, built & painted in California before being shipped to the
lucky owner in Coffs Harbour.
These bright red cruisers are taking advantage of
the dust free environment, and lapping the camping ground.
Scott Hugo lopes along in his '32 roadster with
the radically lowered lid, with the 'air conditioning' on. Scott is from way up near Mackay.
Here is a great example of variations on a theme
- the low slung '32 roadster in the front uses almost the same
colours as Maurie Evans' full fendered '32 roadster.
George & Dianne Higgins slip past in their
race ready '33 roadster. The competition theme is reinforced by the
chopped top, louvered hood and alloy nerf bars in front.
Peter Gregory toured all the way from Victoria in
his immaculate '34 Tourer. Peter made the one-off wheels himself.
The cast alloy wheels are reminiscent of early Ford wire wheels.
Some models have just one good side - the chopped
top and ground hugging stance make this hunchback look a little
sinister, at both ends.
Wow, speaking of coincidences, hows about a pair
of deuce Sports Coupes being parked together?

Valla is well known for the amount of cruising,
but until recently this piece of road was unsealed. The lack of dust
changed the whole experience.
One of the more attractive styles is a '28 A
roadster body on deuce rails - the hiboy. This example has it all.
Brent Oldridge has pieced together yet another
fine example of a street rod, as this chopped, all-steel '34 Tudor
illustrates.
The 'phone booth' Model A Ford closed cab pickup
was made for the man on the land, not for cruising in a sub-tropical
camping ground, but they adapt well.
If you had to tour the park what would be a
better conveyance than a Model A Ford Tourer? The 'Ford in a Ford'
powered tub uses a '32 grille shell.
Brian McDonald, a member of the Manning Valley Cruisers, Taree,
does more of the same (cruising) in his lovely yellow deuce Deluxe
coupe.
Happiness is a hot blown hiboy, in a warm
sub-tropical location, surrounded by hundreds of hot rods.
Tony Moore drove down from Brisbane in his
traditionally styled '32 hiboy. The scallops, steel wheels,
headlights & crossbar all combine to a great traditional effect.

Bob Vasallo's '34 coupe is being driven by Bob's son Mickey, on
L plates. That's the way to pass the torch to the younger
generation.
Wally Stanbury's chopped '29 Sports Coupe uses a
painted grille shell and unique headlight cross bar treatment to
make it stand out.
John & Cathy Cooke take in the twilight in
their handsome Ford convertible.
Michael Crump's '36 five window has an
outstanding violet paint scheme, which the flash highlights in the
this after- sunset shot.
Ian Ward's subtly modified Geelong bodied '34
coupe always looks a neat as a pin.
You don't have to be an old grey haired gentleman
to enjoy riding in a roadster, a point that this car load of young
women will surely agree with.
T coupes aren't that common, so when a pair is
parked together like this, it is worth reporting.
The head light covers are a great idea,
particularly when your deuce 5 window gets to as many runs as this
Dragens car does.
